 | Geoff, I'm having trouble getting that list to fit a page to print off. Sorry to be a pain but could you redo it for me with just Surname / grave number /Cemetery. Cheers. PICKUP XIX G 10 Beachhead War Cemetery Anzio. Also are you sure there are no RAAF lads in Anzio War Cemetery as we'll be going there too. | ||||||||||

| Milan War Cemetery A lovely lady in Milan heard about my project and went especially to the War cemetery to photograph the RAAF lads and did a few extra whilst she was there. Thought I would post this to show the strength of the Commonwealth commitment. No RAAF lads involved in this one however the comraderie of forces was also evident in the air. All these lads killed on 12th September 1944. Peter Clare may have a bit more on the flight. Milan War Cemetery Whitaker group No Aussies.JPG

I have also sorted the graves in numerical sequence so they are easier to locate.

That is the only RAAF lad in that cemetery. Now complete!  I just completed and catalogued Aussies in the RAF. What 1940 burials in WW1 cemeteries in what countries are you looking for? Cheers Geoff

 I'm looking for May/June 1940 burials in the WW1 cemeteries in France and Belgium only (well, 1940 burials in general in any cemetery to be honest), mainly those associated with the battles of Wijtschaete , Amiens and Arras, though any will do (Army preferably). Dave.
